Its compact handset can be carried between rooms while the base station maintains the connection to a compatible landline service.

The base communicates wirelessly with the handset, allowing calls to be answered or made away from the telephone outlet. The handset uses a display and physical controls for navigating menus, selecting contacts, reviewing call history, adjusting settings, and controlling calls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n  \u003Cp>During normal use, press the call key to answer or begin a call, then use the end-call key to disconnect. The hands-free function allows conversations without holding the handset against the ear. The phonebook is useful for frequently called contacts, while the call log helps identify recent incoming or outgoing calls when supported by the telephone network.\u003C\u002Fp>\n  \u003Cp>The lightweight plastic construction is intended for routine household use. Keep the base in an open, dry location rather than inside a cabinet or beside large electrical equipment. Clean the handset and base with a soft, dry cloth. Do not spray liquid directly onto either component, immerse the phone, or use abrasive cleaners. Return the handset to the base after use so the rechargeable batteries remain ready for the next call.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n  \u003Ch2>How to Set Up the Philips BeNear Cordless Phone CD480\u003C\u002Fh2>\n  \u003Col>\n    \u003Cli>Place the base station near the telephone wall socket and an accessible electrical outlet.

Set the date and time using the handset menu.\u003C\u002Fli>\n    \u003Cli>Adjust options such as ringtone, handset volume, dialing mode, and display preferences according to your telephone service.\u003C\u002Fli>\n  \u003C\u002Fol>\n  \u003Cp>For a multi-handset package, connect each additional charger to its own power adapter and register the handset according to the supplied instructions. Never use non-rechargeable batteries.
